My most embarrassing moment

Several of you have mentioned wanting to see house pictures, and, trust me, I really want to show them to you! Turns out, we're missing the USB cable that connects my camera to the computer, so no pictures until we find that! Oh, the many things that have somehow gotten lost during the move! As soon as we find it, or buy a new one, I'll post pictures.

Something happened during my blogging break that I completely forgot to tell y'all! I can't believe I did, because it was definitely one of those life-defining moments that separates the babies from the big girls. It was my official most embarrassing moment, and it happened in front of a congregation of about one hundred and fifty people.

Matt was in front of the church, about to sing a "special." (Do y'all sing "specials" at your churches? I told this to my plain Baptist friend and she said, "Sing a special? What's a special?") ;) If you don't know, just ask me. Anyway, Matt was on stage, and while the sound people were getting his music ready, he gave a quick little testimony, but it seemed like a 10 YEAR TESTIMONY to me. Here's a paraphrase of what he said:

I just want to thank God for giving me such a wonderful wife. Sweet, I know. It might sound corny, but she really does complete me. Still sweet. I was feeling pretty good at this point, even though the people around me were looking at me to see my reaction and saying "aww." I was really proud of Matt, because he never talks in front of a crowd and he was really doing a good job. He continued. And I want to thank Him for giving us a baby. We thought we wouldn't be able to have a baby, because... at this point, I thought he was going to say, "because the doctor told us it would be difficult." But no. It couldn't have been that normal. Maybe it was because he was a little nervous, I don't know. But instead of saying the proper, normal thing, Matt said, because we tried REALLY, REALLY hard for A LONG TIME and it just wasn't happening. And he emphasized every word.

Mind you, I'm sitting on about the fourth pew, aisle seat. Center stage, basically. My pastor is sitting directly in front of me on the stage, and we're basically face to face. My face turns as red as the color of Matt's words above. I am looking into Matt's eyes, burning a hole in them, trying to make him stop, but he just keeps sinking deeper and deeper. By this time, the entire church has erupted into a hysterical fit, and our pastor's entire body is shaking with laughter. Matt is clueless--he has NO idea why everyone is laughing. Then it hits him, and he says, "Oh. Oh gosh. Sorry." Then he gets tickled, and just stands up there until he and everyone else gets it out of their systems.

I'm just sitting in the pew. At the front of the church. Nowhere to escape. But poor Matt--he had it worse! He had to sing after that! :) Unfortunately, my family was absent from church that night. But, no worries, my pastor made it a point to tell them--in a very colorful way--the entire story. And he added, "I could feel the heat coming off of Jordin's face from where I was sitting!" ;) I'm sure he could...

So--that's it. My most embarrassing moment!

What's yours? ;)
